Tanzania Travel Guide

Real wild life worth visiting once in your life

The Tour Company called "Suricata Safari" is well organized for both a tour coordinator and a guide/chef.
A coordinator visited our hotel one day before the tour, explained whole schedule (I joined 5 days tour, 5 people group) and preparations as well as the last day after I return for review everything was fine.

During safari tour 5 days for Tarangire, Lake Manyora, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, a guide and chef made me so comfortable and friendly relationship. I do appreciate their all day effort, tried to find big 5 animals, explain about nature in safari also cooked hot/fresh meal every single time.They also managed to build up tents which guests slept in and tried to understand what guests mostly like to do there. (recommend local suveniors, meals and teach local language)

I definitely recommend choosing "Suricata Safari" and will be back Tanzania safari to have touch experience with wild animals as well as Suricata Friends there.

Amazing!

Benson’s safari could not have been any better. Everything was organised to perfection and we felt really looked after. Accommodation was great, our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable and we saw the big 5! What more could we ask for?

Amazing wildlife experience

We had a four day safari with camping visiting Serengeti, ngorongoro and tarangire. We had a chance to see most animals including the cats, lions cheetahs and serval cats. The experience of having zebras and hyenas walk into the camping sites was amazing. It was very nice to be so close to nature.

A nice amazing trip with unique people in a wonderful country!

What a wonderful and unique experience we had in Tanzania. It definitely exceeded our expectations.

We got back from an amazing Safari trip with Earthlife Expeditions in July. From the first time, we communicated with Deo to our last day, we were very well treated.

He was very attentive with our needs. He customized our trip to our advantage, so we could maximize our stay to our needs. He always answered his messages within two days.

We had a nice driver pick us up at the airport with a smile at 5 a.m.. We were never left alone once on our trip.

Even though the roads were bumpy and dusty, our driver Kessy was always paying attention to the roads. He brought us closer to the animals and he was always trying to position the jeep, so we could make the best photo shot. His knowledgeable of the animals was impressive, he was funny, attentive, patient and always giving us his best service. He made sure that we were pleased with everything we saw.

The accommodations were luxury, spacious, comfortable, clean and secured. The staff service was impeccable, and we always had a worm greeting from them. The bushcamps were well organized with everything: the service, the hot water and the security. We even had Wi-Fi in the middle of no ware.

The food was delicious and abundant. We also had fire and great company.

We made amazing encounters with a multitude of animals. We had a chance to see the big five, walk in a village with a great guide, taste banana beer, visit a school, hunt with a tribe and interact with different cultures.

We ended our trip to Zanzibar for five days at the beach. Everything was arranged for us, the driver, the air travel, the tours and the luxury room.

We would definitely recommend Earthlife Expedition to everyone. Thank you, Deo, Kessy and your staff for making our trip to Tanzania a cherished memory that will last a lifetime. We will never forget you guys.

A memorable experience

Visiting Tanzania was a memorable experience which exceeded our expectations. The Tanzanians that my wife and I met made the difference. It was their smiling faces, the welcome they extended, care they showed to make our visit enjoyable that made that difference. What a responsible attitude to allocate and dedicate so much of their country to enormous national parks where are preserved the rich fauna and flora, the wild life. The local tour operator, Naiman of Quest Horizon, who suggested and planned for us a "dream" safari, which included visits to 4 national parks (Tarangire, Ngorongoro conservation area, Serengeti and Lake Manyara). Among Naiman's excellent team members, Joshua and Gerald took us on a coffee tour which was a hands on demonstration of picking the coffee grains from the trees planted on the side of mount Meru, peeling the grains, roasting them, crushing into powder, and brewing an excellent coffee. Then Naiman’s appointed guide/driver Elisha, bilingual English and French, experienced, skilled in 4-wheel driving, with his professionalism and knowledge of the bush (not to forget mentioning his table cloth and supply of coffee for the picnic lunches among the wild …), helped us witness memorable scenes of the wild life, including the migration of more than 100000 gnus, their crossing the Mara river on their way south to greener pastures. In 8 days we saw, in their natural habitat, all of the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinoceros, bush elephants, African buffalos), many of the other African bush animals, the unique birds, baobab and acacia trees, and a lot more, we stayed in very comfortable tented lodges, slept under mosquito nets while outside the tent we could hear elephants, hyenas and other animals roaming and to top it all, we visited a Maasai village and learned about this Nilotic ethnic group’s distinctive customs. We ended our trip with 4 days on the island of Zanzibar, in a chalet overlooking the Indian ocean, where again Naiman’s team member, the young lady, Witness organised for us highly interesting visits in the historical Stone Town, the old slave market, a spice tour, … In a word, outstanding vacation.

Unforgettable and amazing 3 days safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks

I will keep a very good memory of this safari which went well . The endless plains of Serengeti and the particular site of Ngorongoro park located in a vast crater where I saw all species of gazelles ,buffalos, elephants , giraffes , lions , cheetahs , mongooses , fox , herds of zebras and wildbeest , only 1 rhino(in Ngorongoro), hippos , monkeys , hienas, etc.. many birds , ostrichs, etc . The weather was ideal and hot , no rain, a little colder in Ngorongoro . Hilda was the cook and prepared delicious and tasty meals especialy the soup.. the lunch box was ok too ; Freddy driver and guide has been a carefull driver and gave us a lot of information during all the safari ; both were frendly and helpfull . The campsites of Seronera and Simba were well equipped , only the sanitary of Seronera is to improve . The last day it was surprising to see an elephant and several baboons cross the campsite of Simba.. What an unforgettable safari ...

Nice Serengeti Safari

Wonderful fly-in Safari in the northern Serengeti. Beatiful wildlife and scenery, luxury camp. 5 stars!

I got to see so many animals - cheetah, lion, servals, leopard, giraffe, zebra, wild hartebeest, warthogs, dik dik, impala, buffalo, hippo, chimps, baboons, plus more. Being in the wild they seem so much more alive than in safari parks in the UK. People were generally nice and I felt safe and welcome. Loved the food and didn't have any trouble being a vegetarian (this can be a problem in some countries). I got very close to some animals and had a pride of lions right next to my campsite in the Serengeti! Also, you get to see local culture too. All accommodation was clean, although hot showers were rare - but in that heat this wasn't a problem. I would go again in a flash.

Safari in Selous and Mikumi park: FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE

pure wild life. environments almost untouched and very far from the life of us Westerners. animals, savannah, centenarian trees and a warm but tolerable climate.

The highlight of our trip through Tanzania!

We went on safari with adventure makers this past week for 3 days and 2 nights and really loved our experience. . Stephen was really responsive in emails and friendly. He came to get us from the airport when we landed and brought us to our hotel. We visited Tarangire, lake Manyara and then Ngorogoro crater on the last day. We saw so much wildlife (Lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras) as well as a ton of different birds. Our guide was knowledgable, attentive and very kind. The Ngorogoro crater is absolutely breathtaking- you travel through multiple ecosystems before descending into a beautiful grassland filled with wildlife. Lunches were provided during the day and at night the place we stayed was very comfortable and provided good food. Adventure makers provided an affordable, high value experience and I can't recommend them enough.
